Big differences between the standard model and the high end model as far as options , comfort and amenities . Ours is the High End model and very glad that wa what we chose ! Extremely comfortable leather interior, great sound system. Very pleased with the MPG - better than advertised.

I have my 3.6R 6 weeks now, and love it. I sold my Sporty coup AUDI TT and Safari van when bought this one. so far I'm loving it! the combination of having sporty car like and be able to have so much room for passengers and cargo, make it my favorite car. I test drove so many other SUVs and crossovers when I came to the point that outback is the best choice for me. AUDI Q5 was closest option for performance and handling, but it had less cargo and passenger space and $18000 more money.

On December 30, 2013, I purchased a new Subaru from Ciocca Subaru in Wescosville. In that short period of time, I have accumulated 2100 miles and have found the vehicle to be responsive and well-mannered in city and highway driving. The ride and handling for a vehicle of this size is excellent. Seats are firm and the cabin is relatively quiet. Interior materials seem to be of good quality. I appreciate the convenience of the winter package which incudes all-weather winter mats and a large rubber cargo mat w/ cargo net. As recommended, I check the oil every 400 miles and have no noticable consumption as the dipstick indicator still shows as full. Decent fuel mileage 23 city/30+ highway.

Subaru knowingly has an issue with the cooling system. The car does not have a heat guage that would indicated tge car is getting hot until uou blow a gasket, as with my 2002 Foester. I bought the outback cause I like Subaru and thought I just had bad luck with the 2002. Well, on this car thank goodness we did not blow a gasket because the hose to the radiator popped off several times on same day. We drove it to mechanic, he had to replace entire radiator as the connection point from radiator to hose was broken. AND SUBARU KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING!! Instead they extend the mileage warranty ( according to another consumer). The electrical system stinks. At the 1 yr mark our front lights had to be replaced. At the 4 yr mark the calling system does not function, if I try to make a call, I can not hang up using the panel on the steering when..I have to use my phone; so no calls! Also, my window control buttons on driver side does not function for front passenger window. And finally, 'creme de la creme!!' The electronic brake gets stuck. When you pull to release it only beeps and the brake light indicator on the dash panel blinks!! And you are STUCK! You can not drive!! The worst part is Subaru also knows of probkem as my husband called and they told him there is a tool underneath the spare tire compartment so he can do the job of releasing the brake!!! SOOOOO disappointed!! No more subaru!!
